It is one of the most coveted
handbags of all time, but with a price tag of around £8,000 the Hermés
Birkin bag isn't quite within every fashionista's price range (unless
you're Victoria Beckham whose collection is worth a reported £1.5m).But for arm candy fans on a budget, online handmade marketplace Etsy is selling a replica version of the much lusted after bag.

There's just one catch: it is made out of Lego.

Toy bag: The tribute Birkin bag is made out of Lego and is available on Etsy.com

The 20 x 26 x 13 cm bag, which would
make a great Christmas gift for stylish children, is described on the
site as 'fully functional' and 'designed for everyday use'.The £89 bag can be made to order in a variety of colours and is made from brand new lego.

Describing the item, the site states: 'All the bricks used to make it are brand
new (i.e. straight out of the box, never played with and of course only
original LEGO bricks), so the bag has this amazing shine of new
bricks.

'It is very elegant, does not seem at all like a toy handbag.'

Spot the difference: The Lego bag (L) would make
the perfect gift for fashion savvy children, while the real version (R)
is worth around £8,000

Prestigious luggage and
accessories firm Hermés, who count many of the world's wealthiest women as
fans, is known for luxury leather accessories.Renowned
for its immaculate finish and top quality materials, Hermès claims never to
use any assembly lines with one craftsperson making a single handbag at a time,
hand-stitching individual pieces to create the finished product. The
brand is rich in history, and some of its bestselling bags have
intriguing stories behind them. The iconic Kelly bag, one of Hermes most
popular styles, was originally known as the Sac à dépêches when it was developed by Hermes in 1935. In
1956, a photo of Grace Kelly, who had become the new Princess of
Monaco, was pictured carrying the Sac à dépêches to hide her pregnancy.

Photographs were sent all over the
world and put on the cover of Life magazine. As a result, the bag became
known as the Kelly and has been hugely popular ever since. The Birkin has similarly romantic roots, conceived as it was in honour of French star Jane Birkin. The Birkin was allegedly created after
the company's CEO Jean Louis Dumas sat next to the actress on a Paris
to London flight. Birkin had been discussing her difficulty in finding
a leather weekend bag, explaining her ideal. Shortly after, in 1984, the bag she
described arrived at her flat with a note from Dumas. Although nowadays the bag can be made to order, the design
is still one of the most recognised in the fashion industry.

She has modelled several sexy looks during her time in the spotlight. But Kim Kardashian's latest photo shoot for French magazineFacticecould be one of her most daring yet. The 32-year-old displays her world-famous curves in several boudoir-inspired ensembles.

First up Kim raises temperatures in a racy lace bra and panty set complete with suspenders and cream silk stockings.The
brunette beauty's ensemble is topped off with a luxurious-looking fur
coat and and giant diamond and enamel floral ring and matching bracelet. With her famous full lips heavily glossed, Kim does her best pout and smouldering stare for the camera.

This time instead of wearing her glossy locks down, she has them tousled up in a messy bedhead style. In another snap, Kim wears her hair down in a somewhat Fifties voluminous style. And
the reality star is certainly every inch the pin-up girl in a beige
satin lingerie set, this time paired with a darker fur coat and sky-high
Christian Louboutin heels.

Kim's shoot also switches to playful,
as she changes into a cream sheer set with a sleeveless shirt worn over
her top half and tied at the waist. The Keeping Up With The Kardashian's star pushes her already ample cleavage together creating even more lift.The coquettish look is completed with a feather boa and a wide-brimmed hat.
